The Pasadena Mayor Victor Grodo praised the visit of the Duke-Duchess.

"They want to be as helpful as they can be ... we visited with some of the affected families in some of the burned-out areas in Pasadena and Altadena. They took the time to meet the people that are affected and spent time. They're just very caring people who are concerned for their friends and neighbours."

He noted that Meghan and Harry, whose Archewell Foundation has longstanding ties with World Central Kitchen, visited the centre "anonymously". "No one knew they were serving food with masks."
